The Detour Co's Cedar Salve is a versatile product that works wonders as a hand cream, lip balm, chest rub, and so much more!
Common uses of Cedar Salve:
soften hard-working hands and feet
a natural eczema or fungus ointment
chest rub for coughs and colds
lip balm
Cedar leaf works wonders for healing the skin, while beeswax helps retain moisture (which means it won't dry out as quickly). Cedar leaf has also been shown to have antifungal properties, so it's great for anyone who plays winter sports or works outdoors in the harsh elements. In fact, this product was created with hockey hands in mind. Those gloves. That sweat. All season.
You don't need to play hockey to find this salve helpful, though! Many buy it solely because they love the scent, and it's the perfect size for your pocket or purse. Keep it in your vehicle or desk and tend to those Muskoka-winter hands all season long. (Hot tip: apply to your hands BEFORE putting on your gloves so your skin can be cared for while shovelling or running errands.)
Cedar Salve also works wonders as a chest rub! Cedar leaf can help to clear congestion and support sleep.
Think of the Cedar Salve as a natural alternative for Vaseline and Vicks Vapo Rub. The texture resembles Vaseline in the way it locks in moisture. The scent and medicinal properties resemble Vicks– but without all that gasoline.
There are no essential oils in the new and improved Cedar Salve (made with calendula).
